A gas in a rigid container is heated so that its Kelvin temperature doubles. What happens to its pressure? Select one: a. Nothing b. It doubles c. It quadruples d. It is halved

OpenStudy (somy):

\[PV= nRT \]since the q is about pressure, lets make P as subject of this formula \[P = \frac{ nRT }{ V }\] so the gas was heated till T became 2T \[P = \frac{ nR2T }{ V }\]

OpenStudy (somy):

which means upper part of the fraction is doubled while lower part is same as was so what do you think will happen to pressure?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think b ??

OpenStudy (somy):

bingo!

thanks you @somy

OpenStudy (somy):

no problem )
